Bill, we live in an earthquake zone, what can I tell you? Cameron:
Have I failed to meet city building and safety codes? Stewart Graff:

Do you know how much money I pour into this company every year? Stewart Graff:
You bet I do. Cameron:
And, you're willing to risk losing my business for something like this? Stewart Graff:
Yes, I am. Carl Leeds:

Now the motion in this model was programmed
00:00:03.127 --> 00:00:06.672
from the actual recorded ground motion of a 6 2 earthquake
00:00:06.755 --> 00:00:08.034
Long Beach in '33
00:00:08.424 --> 00:00:10.676
Now a magnitude of eight would produce a motion
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:11.886
What's your point
00:00:12.386 --> 00:00:15.806
Bill we live in an earthquake zone What can I tell you
00:00:15.089 --> 00:00:18.434
That I've failed to meet city or state safety requirements
00:00:18.517 --> 00:00:21.478
That's not the point I think we should go beyond the codes
00:00:21.562 --> 00:00:23.772
You remember the Sylmar quake
00:00:23.856 --> 00:00:26.999
A lot of buildings that met the code collapsed
00:00:28.235 --> 00:00:31.405
You know how much money I pour into this company every year
00:00:31.488 --> 00:00:32.948
You bet I do
00:00:33.282 --> 00:00:36.016
And you're willing to risk losing my business for something like this
00:00:37.001 --> 00:00:38.245
Yes lam
00:00:40.706 --> 00:00:43.267
The revised prints on the interior are in my office Mr Cameron
00:00:43.292 --> 00:00:45.794
I figured you'd want to go over them
00:00:47.588 --> 00:00:49.059
I'll see what it costs me
